It's been way too long since I've updated our awesome readers about our adoption journey, but....not a whole lot has happened! We're still on the waitlist: #130 for girls and #54 for siblings. A LOT of families have left AGCI in the past few months to pursue waiting children with other agencies and countries. We are overjoyed that these waiting children have found their forever families, and were tempted to join those families, but feel like God wants us to stay with AGCI for a little while longer.
In more exciting news, our Simply Love shirts are here, and they're gorgeous! We have men's (M-XL) and women's (S-XL) shirts in 3 different styles. Check out our Simply Love page on our blog to order one or email me at nbright327@gmail.com to place an order.
We had a HUGE successful yard sale last weekend at Life UMC in Fairmont and raised nearly $2,000! We are so grateful for the help of our family and friends who helped make this fundraiser possible! And finally, an article was published in the Times West Virginian today about our adoption journey. We are so thankful to Mary Wade Burnside for the wonderfully written article and to Tammy Shriver for the beautiful photos. You can check out the article here:

We're the Bright family: Natalie, Buck and Juliana - and soon, our newest daughter from Ethiopia. This is our journey from Morgantown, WV to Addis Ababa.
